Definitions
- the object of the invention is a method of creating an active catalytic and cracking layer, through the introduction of an oxidizer in gaseous form to metal containing surfaces or surfaces onto which oxidizers can deposit in the combustion zone and/or in its vicinity, as well in the combustion zone as along the pathway of the gaseous emissions from the combustion zone and beyond to and through the gaseous emissions outflow.
- the object of the invention is also a device for the execution of the method.
- the carburetion of a fuel is a very important process within the field of energy technology since no fuel can burn without first being vaporized. Ordinarily the carburetion takes place conjointly with the combustion itself. If the fuel is already in gaseous form the combustion apparatus can be made simpler and thereby cheaper.
- an oxidizer in gaseous form in accordance with the present invention one obtains not only an improvement of the combustion in combustion processes with increased engine efficiency as a consequence, but also cleaner emissions.
- the latter is especially important in the use of engine powered vehicles in for instance mines.
- the catalyzer technique is a previous known technology for the cleaning of emissions from various combustion processes.
- the problems that the invention proposes to solve entirely or in part is given in the following a few examples of areas of application of the invention for instance combustion engines for automobiles, snowmobiles, outboard engines etc.
- the method is however applicable to all types of combustion.
- an emission temperature of between 600°C-800°C degrees is required. At temperatures below 600°C respectively exceeding 800°C degrees it functions only partially which is unsatisfactory since the emissions then pass more or less strait out. At a temperature exceeding about 1060°C degrees the catalyzer auto incinerates.
- the catalyzer In its exposed position for example underneath the vehicle the catalyzer is cooled down especially during winter time with reduced efficiency as a consequence.
- the cooling effects at highway speed are substantial.
- a type of afterburner chamber has been developed that is installed just in front of the catalyzer. In a few seconds the latter is heated up to 350°C degrees on an automobile. The fuel to this afterburner chamber comes through the exhaust pipe.
- an oxidizer in gaseous form containing n(H 2 O 2 ) or a substance with equivalent efficacy/properties into the combustion gases these are immediately ignited by formed catalytic/cracking surfaces or by the catalyzer which thereby more quickly reaches operating temperature and optimal functioning.
- the catalyzer has been started up with the engine running at idle and with exhaust temperatures of between 70°C-160°C degrees. Reliability in running and durability are thereby improved markedly, it is possible to place a catalyzer on an arbitrarily chosen location even on the furthest end of the exhaust pipe.
- the engine releases extremely minute quantities of soot and extremely low emitted quantities of hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide, NO x and so on.
- the catalyzer obtains ideal conditions of functioning and the work load is evenly distributed.
- the described catalytic cracking effects are achieved by feeding, to target surfaces, combustible substances including oxidizers in gaseous form or oxidizer with n(H 2 O 2 ) comparable efficacy properties. It occurs from a nearby container wherefrom one by means of pressure or vacuum achieves a gaseous extraction from the in a liquid state residing oxidizer. This gaseous flow is led admixed with air in adequate proportions via low friction hoses of a for the oxidizer suitable composition to "full-flow connections optionally with sacrificial anodes" that in their turn distribute the gaseous further in a suitable state of composition to injection nozzles manufactured out of aluminium.
- the test was carried out on a 440 cc two-stroke engine that is ordinarily used in snow-mobiles. Temperature probes where drilled in to 1 mm from the combustion chamber. The engine was run thoroughly hot before the test to be thereafter subjected to partial load according to a practical running cycle. The engine in standard condition is seen represented by the upper curves in the respective diagrams.
- the by percentage admixed oil can be reduced which among other things gives emission wise for the catalyzer less "PAH troubles" to take care of.
- the soot formation and NO x -emissions are minimal not to say hardly measurable.
- the test-snowmobile was subjected to really hard running which transpired entirely without reproach.
- the catalyzer was then still in a state as good as new. From what the tests have shown it follows that it is fully possible to, with good results use a catalyzer on, for catalyzers emission wise difficult engine types.
- a jet spray nozzle in combination with a filter For the effectuation of the described method is used according to the invention a jet spray nozzle in combination with a filter.
- An example of such a combination is shown on the appended drawing where fig. 1 shows a jet spray nozzle with filter and fig. 2, an example of the placement of the oxidizer jet spray nozzle in a throttle carburetor that is commonly installed in two-stroke engines.
- liquid can or if it is in aerosol form be made in a simple way to transform itself into adopting gaseous form.
- the shown filter consists of a stamped out ring of for instance Gore-Tex material but also other materials with corresponding properties can be used.
- Gore-Tex material can be used in many high tech contexts. The material is used for instance for the manufacture of rain clothes. The clothes become completely wind and water proof, meanwhile retaining an ability to "breath”.
- 1 signifies an oxidizer nozzle suitably manufactured in aluminium.
- a filter 5 which consists of a simple or multiple layered semipermeable phase transition membrane filter of for instance Gore-Tex type.
- a filter such as to facilitate the transition from liquid/aerosol-phase to gaseous-phase.
- the oxidizer is extant in a liquid or aerosol form, which after the passage through the filter converts into gaseous which is sucked into the carburetor throat 3 directly converging with the from the out of the jet spray nozzle 6 in aerosol form outflowing air-fuel mixture.
- 1 signifies the oxidizer nozzle 's orifice.
- A, B, C and D signify the by the throttle adjustable needle valve of a throttle carburetor in various positions.
- the needle valve 2 In the position A the needle valve 2 is closed and the air-fuel mixture is sucked into the carburetor throat 3 through the idle jet 4.
- the needle valve 2 In the positions B, C and D the needle valve 2 has opened, and the out of the main jet 1 in gaseous form outflow of oxidizer is directly converging with the in the carburetor throat in aerosol form extant air-fuel mixture.
- the jet spray nozzle itself which is suitably manufactured out of aluminium is mounted on the intake lower pressure side of the fuel system which entails that one side of the filter is subjected to lower (negative) pressure whereby a powerful capillary action arises acting against its liquid/aerosol side.
- Locating and shaping of the nozzle itself is of great import. It must have a position that corresponds to a convergence with the feed of the air-fuel mixture and its transition-phase/zone into aerosol form. This implies in practice that the oxidizer jet spray nozzle is placed approximately 5-30 mm after the carburetor's fuel-jet or needle valve ( see fig. 2.).
Description
The catalyzer obtains ideal conditions of functioning and the work load is evenly distributed.
In the space in front of the filter the oxidizer is extant in a liquid or aerosol form, which after the passage through the filter converts into gaseous which is sucked into the
